What next?

Post by Teaos »

So where, if anywhere, do you see this reboot going?

What would you like to see them do next.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Klingon-Federation War. Writers are going to forget how easy it is to get to the capital of the Klingon Empire, super-teleport or 5 minute ship voyage, and just have war that began over a misunderstanding (John Harrison wasn't really a Fed). Grandfather of Worf (Jamie Foxx?) will be involved in preventing war.

Hmmm.... maybe something involving a five year mission and not Earth?

Well, that's what Kirk wants, at least. ;)

Interestingly if you want that, there was a porno about that. Same thing really.

Is that a fact? Hmm...

A full-scale war would be very hard to depict in just one movie. Or even two, assuming there is another movie after the next one.

I have to admit that, as good as Team Abrams is, I'm starting to see the problems inherent in a movie-based trekiverse. Fewer storytelling opportunities, less room for long-term plots and the like, especially for the five-year mission of exploration that Kirk and co. are on. I'm really not sure what the next movie could feasibly be about.

A lot of people complain about the Abramsverse by asking for some "boldly going"... depict a mission of exploration with the ship encountering some strange new world.

Personally I think if you did that, even if you did it well, you'd get a lot of "Well it just feels like an episode of the TV show".

Maybe they explore and then discover someone is causing stars to explode or planets or whatever and they locate it to the Romulans or the Klingons. Or hell Tholians would be cool. Have them jump to a few planets asking questions.

Ahh yes. That could be made into a movie. Expand on it alittle. Make Decker a clear cut Kirk with a broken soul like it was suggested here recently.

Maybe have a new design for the Constellation or maybe even the same ship as before.

Maybe show a small fleet led by the Constellation.
